Game of the World Tree - Chapter 280
280. Chapter 278 Your Elf Slaves Are No Good! Look at Ours!
“Sure enough, a lot of elves have been locked
up. It seems that letting players explore the human world is still a bit beneficial.” In the kingdom of the world tree, Eve, sitting on the throne, looked at the pictures in the air.
Those pictures were all from the perspective of the players exploring Maple Leaf City.
The most central one was that of Li Mu and Demacia.
Eve could clearly see the elves imprisoned in the cells through the pictures.
They wore magic-forbidden collars around their necks, and some even had their limbs locked. They all had pointed ears, looked extremely haggard, and had dim and desperate eyes.
Eve could only sigh deeply.
However, there were also some who looked at the pictures, and the elves who looked at the pictures had endless anger in their eyes…
The pictures in the field of vision were of Li Mu and Demacia.
Then these elves… were naturally looking at them.
Seeing the anger in their eyes, Eve thought:
“They should be the members of the Oak Hand mentioned by the steward before.”
“When the players rescue the elves, this local force… may be included in my command.”
He knocked on the armrest of the glorious throne, and he had an idea in his mind.
On the other side, seeing the system message in front of them, Li Mu and Demacia looked surprised.
“Hahaha! Brother Mu, I said it! It involves elf slaves, there must be hidden tasks! And the rewards are quite generous!”
Demacia typed excitedly in the chat channel.
“It depends on whether we can rescue everyone.”
Li Mu was also very jealous.
Saving an elf… that is 5000 experience points and 3000 contribution points. Although the half-elf is halved, it is almost half.
If all are rescued, then the golden legendary equipment will be in hand!
You know, if you want to get these by doing the tasks, you can’t get them without abandoning all other activities and persisting in hard work for ten days or half a month.
Now, as long as these NPCs are saved, everything will be within reach!
Thinking of this, the two people’s eyes looking at the elves changed.
After noticing the undisguised passion and greed in the eyes of the two, the last trace of worry in Cage’s heart also disappeared.
These two people… are not from the Oak Hand!
Greed is good!
Only by greed can he sell at a good price!
Cage smiled slightly and said to the two:
“How about it? These are our elf slaves. Haha, with this scale of people, there will be no other one in the entire Maple Leaf City! And… the quality of our Chamber of Commerce is very high!”
Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other, and Demacia said readily:
“Name a price!”
The smile on Cage’s face became even brighter.
He pointed to one of the cages that held a young elf and said,
“The ones in this cage have strong growth potential. Females are 8,000 pounds gold coins each, and males are 5,000 pounds gold coins each.”
Then, he pointed to the other half of the cages that held young elves:
“The ones in this cage are all ready-made. Females are 6,000 pounds gold coins each, and males are 4,500 pounds gold coins each.”
Then, he continued to point to the last cage:
“The elves in this one are a bit older, or those that are not original, so they are cheaper, all 4,500 pounds gold coins each.”
“Hehehe, don’t be fooled by the fact that some of them look a bit old. In fact, they are only about 400 years old. For the lifespan of an elf, it’s still a long time, and… some people specifically like the older ones.”
“Not only that, the older ones know a lot. If you can pry some of the elves’ inheritance out of their mouths, you will make a lot of money.”
“As for the half-elves, they are even cheaper, 2,000 pounds for females and 1,500 pounds for males. If you buy more, you can get a discount.”
Cage said enthusiastically.
After that, he smiled and said,
“How is it? This price is already quite fair. Considering that you are Anders’ friends, I have already given you a 20% discount.”
“If you buy more, I can also give you a few strong orc slaves, all of which are well-tamed. Each can be sold for 300 pounds of gold coins.”
Cage said happily.
According to the players’ buying and selling experience in Black Rock City, it is indeed quite fair.
Li Mu nodded secretly.
However, they are not really here to do business, and they don’t have that much money.
And…
“No, no!”
Unlike Li Mu, Demacia looked at the elves and shook his head like a rattle:
“Lord Cage, there are some problems with your elves…”
“They look too bad. How long have they not eaten? Could they be those stubborn elves who refuse to obey?”
“Those people would rather die than be slaves, so they are not worth the price.”
“For these stubborn elves, the only way is to use mental control, but if you do that, they will lose their minds and be no different from dolls. The price will drop by at least half!”
After hearing what Demacia said, Cage’s reaction was not discussed for the time being. Li Mu was surprised first:
“How do you know so much?”
He couldn’t help but typed distractedly in the chat channel.
“Hehehe, Black Rock City didn’t sell itself for nothing. What kind of elves can be sold at a good price and what kind of elves are not easy to sell? I know everything and have rich experience! Otherwise, why would I take this job?”
Demacia replied proudly.
Li Mu: …
Cage also looked at Demacia in surprise. He never thought that this was a knowledgeable guy who could directly see that there was something wrong with these elves.
In fact, he had tried his best to have people adjust the light in the cell so that the elves’ status would not be so obvious.
“So… what do you mean?”
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Mr. Cage! This is where you are wrong. Although there are many elves, the quality is really too poor. In my opinion, the price should be cut in half at least.”
Demacia shook his head.
After that, he pointed to a cage of elves that was held in the depths, which Cage did not take the two to see in depth:
“The elves there are not bad, but… they are not worth the price!”
There?
Cage raised his eyebrows.
Demacia was referring to some elf slaves that the Sauron Chamber of Commerce had.
These elf slaves were not the captives of the Oak Hand bought from the Border Earl, but were domesticated by the Chamber of Commerce for many years and were relatively obedient.
Of course, Cage did not intend to sell those elves to them.
Those elves were carefully selected by the Chamber of Commerce. Most of them were women with outstanding looks among the elves. In the human world, they would be top-quality goods.
If the goods imported from the Border Earl are really not good enough, he also plans to use those elves to participate in the next auction.
As long as the elves are dressed up, it is possible that the nobles will sell them for a sky-high price at the auction.
However… the other party actually said that those elves are worth more than this price?
This made Cage, who has been doing elf trading
, a little angry. This red-haired guy obviously knows a lot about elf trading, but he still said that. Isn’t it looking for trouble?
Are they really here to do business?
“Mr. Demacia.”
Cage said lightly:
“I admit that these elves outside do have some flaws. However, they are not as serious as you said. As for those in the deeper part… those are the treasures of our Chamber of Commerce. I will not sell them even if the price is doubled.”
“Treasure?”
Demacia chuckled after hearing this. The expression was as annoying as it could be, full of sarcasm:
“Is it a treasure in that case? It’s just that the appearance is better looking, and the resistance is not so strong. Haha, if you can’t even be truly submissive and obedient, what kind of treasure are you?”
Hearing this, Cage’s face looked a little ugly.
“Mr. Demacia.”
His voice was already slightly angry:
“It seems that you are an expert, so you should know that it is extremely difficult to tame elves.”
“These stubborn guys, it is very difficult to make them reluctantly obey, and which one of them is not priced sky-high, not to mention truly obedient.”
“I’ve lived for so long, but I have never seen a truly obedient elf at an auction!”
“Hehe, those truly obedient ones you mentioned are all little guys bought by the nobles. They have been raised for who knows how many years. You don’t even think about how much they have invested, and such elves are the treasures of each family, and are almost priceless!” After hearing
what Cage said, Demacia shook his head and said with disdain:
“After all, it’s just that you don’t know how to tame elves. Those who really know how to tame elves don’t need so much trouble. Let alone others, just talk about me, give me a few days, and I can make the elves as obedient as kittens…”
“Hehe.”
Cage sneered, and his eyes looking at Demacia became more and more indifferent and disgusted.
“Don’t believe it?”
Demacia raised his eyebrows.
He waved his hand and said proudly:
“Just right! I really brought a lot of goods, all of them are top-quality elves, and the quality is much higher than what you have here.”
“Today, I will let you see what a real elf slave is! What true obedience is!”
Thank you Nanmie for the 1,000-point reward! Thank you Chenyangxi for the 600-point reward! Thank you Xingling Qingwu1 for the 100-point reward!
